But some elements of the CIA engaged in extensive torture and farmed out torture to foreign black sites through the past decade, and neither he nor anyone else has apologized for that! (To be fair, it happened before he came on deck, though questions have been raised about torture in Iraq when he was commander there, too).

Why is a personal peccadillo taken more seriously than a widespread and systematic flaunting of US and international law?

But when Google commemorated Cesar Chavez, who worked tirelessly to organize and help Mexican laborers, they were slammed for doing it on Easter Sunday. But isn’t the resurrection a message of hope for the oppressed, symbolically crucified by low wages and unfair working conditions?

So which is it, is it bad to put down laborers or is it bad to commemorate their struggles?

But the biggest threat to property and to business worth in the world is now climate change, which will hurt property owners along seashores and will disrupt many businesses.

Yet the Republican way of dealing with this crisis to is try to pass laws forbidding people from pointing out that seashore property is suddenly worth less, and to try to convince the public that climate change isn’t happening. Since climate change is already inflicting damage and the damage will increase, denial will not actually protect businesses or property.
